The old church was burned down several years ago. Nothing there but a vacant lot now. It is on a different road a couple of miles from the one where they filmed the rest of the driving sequences. Edited together, they made it all look like the same endless stretch of road.

It is actually a little southwest of Ocala near Dunnellon. The road where the driving sequences were shot was the road to Dunnellon High School. It was 180th Ave. Rd., Dunnellon, FL right by Rainbow Springs State Park.

That's right Dallas. That road runs between SR 40 and CR 484. My kids went to school at Dunnellon Elementary and I officiated many football games for Dunnellon High. During the filming, they shut School Rd down for 3 days; the kids loved it. We lived just off SR 200 out of Ocala, just south of CR 484.

That real, now lost church in Jeepers Creepers was inspired because it didn't look like a Hollywood set, but rather like a Great Depression-era photograph by Walker Evans. It was brutally plain, forlorn. Filming here, together with Central Florida's Spanish-moss festooned horse country, gave the movie a different atmosphere from over-familiar California productions -- pungent and authentic. As much as I like Jeepers Creepers 2, the scenery is generic. Hills and a cornfield roll unremarkably by. In comparison, the scrubby, oppressive subtropical setting of the original was almost a character in the drama, relentless like the creature. It may have made an uncomfortable shoot, but also a hell of a distinctive movie.

Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form? I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having trouble finding one?

Hello there! I could have sworn I've been to this blog before but after reading through some of the post I realized it's new to me. Anyhow, I'm definitely delighted I found it and I'll be book-marking and checking back frequently!

You really make it seem so easy along with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that I believe I'd by no means understand. It sort of feels too complex and extremely large for me. I am taking a look ahead for your subsequent publish, I will attempt to get the hang of it!

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on a number of websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

I'm really enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Great work!

I do consider all the ideas you've introduced in your post. They're really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are too short for novices.May just you please extend them a little from next time?Thanks for the post.

Lol try filming in indiana especially lowell. Got long endless roads with fields on either side. It's the perfect setting. A few never ending lonesome roads are near where I live.. I'd love to have celebrities out here in the middle of nowhere lol. Oh how I miss my hometown in the city. (Chicago)

apparently the house has always been there. it just looks eerily similar to the church location. and yes people live there. i assume they work on the farm or own the farm. the church location is just a vacant space. the coordinates are 29.152093,-82.302803. look it up on google earth and go back in history to 1995 and you'll see there are more trees on the location so i'm assuming they burned down when someone burned down the church in 2002-2003.

Hey if any Jeepers fans want to check out a video I did of all the filming locations from the movie please take a look. My channel name is wearetherest2050. https://youtu.be/XjEqKGuOEPI And that's the jeepers video. Please subscribe ��
